Over the years, one of the top advantages of religion has been the way it superficially masked a person's hypocrisy.
But that never lasts. I suppose Evangelicals realize the jig is up and have decided they might as well publicly support the pussy grabber. Nobody believes in their piety anyway. This feels like an admission: Yeah, we were full of crap all along. You got us.

God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

How were Christians in America having their religious freedoms under assalt during the Obama Presidency???
You don't remember the Great Persecutions of 2010? All the babies that were eaten and churches desecrated? It was all covered on Fox News. Glenn Beck even put his bowtie and glasses on to teach us all about it.

I keep trying to find that part of the New Testament where Jesus says the ends justify the means.

The great thing about living in an alternate reality like a typical religion or today's GOP is you can claim persecution and whine about it without having to prove said persecution. Religious people have been making up their version of reality for centuries.
